Art of Sacrifice in Chess

An ground-breaking work of chess literature in which Spielmann describes and illustrates various types of chess sacrifices in an attempt to explain the theory of the chess sacrifice and classify it's various forms.

Spielmann was one of the most attacking players of his time and includes many examples from his own play, against top Grandmasters such as Reti, Rubinstein, Tarrasch and Schlechter.

This book was the first systematic attempt to explain and exploit the theory of chess sacrifice and remains an extremely helpful weapon in the arsenal of players at every level.
